Isaiah 45:1

Thus says Yahweh to ^aCyrus His anointed,

Whom I have taken hold of by his right ^bhand,

To ^csubdue nations before him

And ¹to ^dloose the loins of kings,

To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:

Isaiah 45:2

“I will go before you and ^amake the ¹rough places smooth;

I will ^bshatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron ^cbars.
